Story Of Bhagat Puran Singh | Dhadrianwale The Narrative Of Bhagat Puran Singh, A Renowned Humanitarian And Selfless Servant Who Dedicated His Life To Caring For The Abandoned And Disabled. His Story Illustrates Profound Compassion And Service To Humanity.

Bhagat Puran Singh Ji – A Life of Selfless Service to Mankind

In the world where personal gain often takes precedence over community welfare, few lives shine as brightly as that of Bhagat Puran Singh Ji. He was not just a man of immense compassion, but a living embodiment of the Sikh principle: “Sarbat da Bhala” — the well-being of all.


Early Life and Spiritual Awakening

Bhagat Puran Singh Ji was born on June 4, 1904, in Rajewal (Ludhiana district), Punjab, as Ramji Das to a Hindu family. From an early age, he showed a deep concern for nature and living beings. As he grew, he became drawn toward the teachings of Sikhism, particularly the spirit of seva (selfless service). Eventually, he embraced Sikh ideals and came to be known as Bhagat Puran Singh.

His turning point came in the 1930s when he began caring for a disabled and mentally challenged child, Piara Singh, whom he found abandoned outside Gurdwara Dera Sahib in Lahore. This act of love became the foundation of his lifelong mission.


The Birth of Pingalwara

With no building, no funds, and no support—Bhagat Ji began caring for the destitute, the sick, the abandoned, and the disabled. He would carry them on a cart, feed them with whatever he could collect, and offer dignity to those society had discarded. People laughed at him, called him mad—but he kept moving, unfazed.

In 1947, after Partition, he resettled in Amritsar and continued his mission under the name Pingalwara, meaning “the home of the crippled.” What began as a single man's effort grew into a massive movement of care, shelter, and healing.

Today, All India Pingalwara Charitable Society, headquartered in Amritsar, runs hospitals, homes for mentally challenged and disabled, environmental awareness programs, orphanages, free dispensaries, and educational initiatives—all echoing Bhagat Ji's vision.


Life of Simplicity and High Thinking

Bhagat Puran Singh Ji lived a life of absolute simplicity. He wore humble clothes, walked barefoot, and never owned anything for himself. He would collect rations, medicines, and discarded goods for his patients. He even picked up trash, recycled paper, and spoke about environmental protection decades before it became a global concern.

His personal diary was filled not with wealth, but thoughts of service, notes on ecology, spirituality, and care for the forgotten. He was known for his strong stance against moral degradation and consumerism, and he would often publish pamphlets and posters to awaken public consciousness.

Sangats' Feedback

"Bhai Ranjit Singh is a mahapursh or yug-parvartak in the real sense of the term"
My request to Bhai Ranjit Singh Ji to dissuade Sikhs from indulging in ever increasing practice of people putting a lot of money in the hands of the granthi offering ardas to make a special ardas for them for this purpose or that as if the granthi is the commission agent of God. The granthis are doubling /trebling these hefty sums of ill-gotten money by lending it on mind-boggling rates of interest to the very people who gave it to him as ardas! The foolish prople still cannot understand the game and this vicious circle goes on and on. If this malpractice is not checked the day is not far away when all the lands of the villagers will be purchased by such greedy granthis and all the farmers will be forced to act as granthis' farm laborers. Equally deplorable is the bhedchal of each visitor to offer a ten rupee note to any tom, dick or harry performing kirtan (the offering is made even before he even starts the kirtan and even after he has stopped it!!) The list of such foolish mockeries is too long to be listed in one email. Bhai Ranjit Singh Ji doing the most wonderful service to Sikhism (humanism actually) by exposing such mockeries in boldest possible manner. I bow in reverence to his greatness. He is a mahapursh (rather yug-parvartak) in the real sense of the term. May God bless him with a long life so that he may clean the mud of ignorance and superstitions in which Sikhism has drowned neckdeep. Yours sincerely Balvinder Singh
